This project is led by 7 Indigenous youth from across Turtle Island who are passionate about working to educate other Indigenous youth on safe ways of engaging with sex work and on alternative options. They are working to create spaces where education can be shared and voices of marginalized people are uplifted.
This project is funded by BC Civil Forfeiture.
“We acknowledge the intersectionality that exists between the ongoing human rights issues Indigenous communities are facing and the work we do. We raise awareness on ALL experiences of people partaking in sex work. We will be growing our community’s knowledge on the topic of safety in sex work and advocacy through an accessibly delivered and trauma-informed lens.”
